Seems like the intensity and frequency breaches have just started to warm up! Even as we pat ourselves about the recent indictment of criminals we see reports of increased activity. Millions of cards stolen and more loss...

Brings us back to a hard question we have to ask ourselves - are we ready to tackle this seriously? Vendors, retailers, banks, government and consumers all have a huge stake in this (and don't forget, so does organized crime). However, it seems like organized crime is living up to its name - they seem a bit more organized about this. Not having looked at the numbers, but is feels like we are being pushed back and they currently have the upper hand...

Not a very PC thing to say, I know. However, we have to wake up to the reality and get more serious about this.
